Chapter 573 Another bowl [Please give me a monthly ticket! ]

Right Prime Minister Song Zhili sat behind his desk, working hard for many days, but he did not show any signs of fatigue, and his eyes were still gentle and bright. It seemed that the many years of recuperation and concentration on breakthroughs had finally paid off.

Led by Ling Sansi, several staff generals from Wu'antang also came to the Xiangguo Gate to discuss matters. After all, it was a war, and it definitely required professional planning.

Needless to say, the other ministers of the various ministries basically did not stay in their respective offices for long these days, and they had been concentrating on discussions at the Xiangguo Gate. Compared with the Qinzheng Hall, the Xiangguo Gate during this period was like the center of the country.

"It is obviously most beneficial for us to negotiate peace at this time." Ling Sansi analyzed calmly, "Bashanhou's army is still trapped in Jiuyang's hinterland. Although they have achieved great results, their position has been exposed, and it is difficult to launch such a surprise attack again. If the Jiuyang tribes unite, I am afraid that the next step will be to eat up Bashanhou's army. The losses of the Yang people have already occurred, but their results have not yet been obtained. Talking about peace at this time... is actually a bit strange."

"Tianxia Pass was also captured, and a high priest and a Khan were captured. Maybe they were afraid to take action?" someone speculated.

"Normally speaking, if I were the enemy commander, even if I wanted to negotiate peace, I would first do my best to bite off the meat at my fingertips, and then talk about it. This would be in our best interest." Ling Sansi said.

This remark made the civil servants present ponder for a moment, and then they all nodded in agreement.

If it is regarded as a round-based fight, it can be said that Yin State's offensive round was over, and the Yang people gave up the attack in their own round and surrendered.

They could obviously achieve victory at their doorstep first.

If this happened to a person, it might be a mental breakdown. But for such a big guy like Jiuyang, it seemed a little strange.

"If we reject the peace talks, won't Marquis Bashan be in danger?" Xu Zhan'ao asked.

"That's true." Ling Sansi nodded. "In fact, Bashanhou has been circling the enemy in the heart of Jiuyang. It is risky to launch a surprise attack on Guxu City in secret. The seven allied forces are pressing forward step by step, and have suppressed the range of Bashanhou's army. Even if they occupy Guxu City, they can't hold it for long. Capturing the Khan of Canglong tribe may be a ray of hope, but..."

"The Canglong tribe is now led by Princess Yushi, and the Khan of the Canglong tribe can play a small role." Song Zhili said.

"It's really hard to figure out." Everyone present shook their heads.

"But no matter what, since the other party proposed peace talks, we have to agree, right?" Meng Shouyu said solemnly when everyone was silent: "Since Bashan Hou is in a dangerous situation and is almost at the end of his rope, we must welcome him back to the country as a condition for peace talks. Perhaps the purpose of the Yang people is to use this as a threat to force us to agree to this peace talk."

"It is indeed possible." Song Zhili said, "But I don't know what Yang's intentions are, and what is the trick behind this peace talk..."

Ling Sansi said: "The Yang people are cunning, we have to be on guard."

"If they want to make trouble during the peace talks, how can we guard against it?" Xu Zhan'ao asked again, "We must be prepared for the location, people and content of the peace talks."

"Yes, the person who goes to negotiate peace cannot be too insignificant, otherwise it will seem that our dynasty does not take it seriously and it will give people a chance to criticize. But we cannot let someone too important go, otherwise if Yang Ren has ill intentions, it will affect the overall situation..." Song Zhili was a little troubled for a moment.

It seems like the Martingale people have dug a hole and are forcing you to jump in.

If you don't jump, Tang Wei will be in danger.

But if we have to jump, who will jump?

People won't recognize those with less weight, and they're afraid of mistakes if they have more weight. After all, it was proposed by Yang Ren, and who can guarantee that there will be no mistakes?
At this time, Meng Shouyu said slowly: "In fact, I have a candidate in mind. This person has an extraordinary status both in the court and in the army. In the past, he was enough to convince Jiuyang. At the same time, he is not afraid of accidents because he has a good cultivation base, and... now he is not involved in specific affairs, even if the worst result is, it will not affect the overall situation."

"Who?" Everyone looked at him.

"I'll tell you, don't say it was me who proposed it. This person is..." Meng Shouyu said slowly, "Ding Gou King Jiang Zhenye."

……

As the news of the peace talks arrived, the atmosphere inside Tianxia Pass became only slightly relaxed.

After a very frustrating defeat, the soldiers had a great victory that was not very exciting but satisfying. They had developed a peaceful state of mind amidst the ups and downs. This war was different from the previous ones. The Yang people were really weird.

In fact, ever since the first battle to capture the city, when Frost North City was blocked by Yin State, Jiuyang’s national strength could no longer be compared with Yin State.

The land of Yang was already poor and miserable, and the most fertile grassland was occupied by the Yin Kingdom. Over the years, one had grown while the other had waned. If the Yin Kingdom had not been in internal strife and consumed its national strength, Jiuyang would not have dared to look south again.

But this time, Emperor Mubei died suddenly, and the high priest was also inexplicably gone, so Jiuyang took the opportunity to go south. If they missed this opportunity, they would be suppressed by Yin State for at least 20 years, and by then the next generation would have no hope of revival.

In this battle, the Nine-Yarn Martial God who was expected to appear did not show up, but the strange formation that Huanshen Peak took out made everyone suffer...

After experiencing so many unexpected things, the soldiers all hoped that the peace talks would be successful. They were not afraid of fighting the enemy, but they did not want to face those strange and irresistible formations again.

Liang Yue brought a few disciples to the camp to have dinner. Today the army had improved their food, with unlimited porridge and some meat.

Under normal circumstances this would not be a big deal, but during this period of arduous marching, food and fodder have not been so scarce, so this is already a very good meal.

Although these demon kings had made great contributions, they were somewhat out of place in the army. Liang Yue always kept them with him to prevent any trouble.

However, they were very well behaved in front of Liang Yue and were polite in everything they did. The uncle who served the food just now handed the Water Monkey King a banana and he also said thank you.

After sitting down, looking at the white porridge in the bowl, Liang Yue suddenly felt something.

After the battle last night, he had a deeper understanding of the rules. He didn't understand where the power of the Nine Secret Books came from before, but now he found that they seemed to be the imprint of the great way of heaven and earth.

The biggest difference between the Grandmaster Realm and the Master Realm is that one can utilize the complete Dao of Heaven and Earth.

The Tao is like the porridge in this bowl, it is innumerable, and you can achieve something by eating just one grain. Of course, the more you eat, the better.

And since he held six of the Nine Secret Books in his hands, he had actually been exposed to the complete great Dao long ago. However, he did not understand it at that time and only comprehended it superficially.

Thinking about it now, it was such a waste of resources.

As he thought about it, the enlightenment tree in his mind started to spin wildly, his whole body was surrounded by the rhythm of Tao, and he fell into a state of emptiness.

"Master?" King Sha looked at him and suddenly froze. He asked carefully, "Are you not satisfied with the food? I can go out and get some meat."

"Shut up!" The Water Monkey King quickly stopped him and said, "Master has suddenly realized something."

"Ah?" Lei Hao looked at the porridge Liang Yue was staring at, then looked at the divine light in Liang Yue's eyes, "Can drinking porridge lead to enlightenment?"

"When you reach Master's level, all things in the world have their true nature." The Water Monkey King sighed, "It's really beyond our reach."

The demon race was born with a slow understanding. It might take them thousands of years to cultivate what humans would take hundreds of years to cultivate. Sudden enlightenment might only happen once in ten years for human cultivators, but it was even more rare for them.

Like Liang Yue, he could gain enlightenment by seeing changes in the celestial phenomena, by sneezing, or by eating... For these demon kings, they would not even dare to imagine such things before they die.

Lei Hao followed suit and stared at the porridge in the bowl, but he saw nothing except a black face.

"Is it because my porridge is not good?" He drank it in one gulp, then walked over with the bowl, "Another bowl!"
